Pet care experience

Fit dog walker Besotted cat stroker

Being native of the French Alps, I have been around dogs, especially big dogs (Belgian Shepherd, German shepherds, Bernese Mountain dogs, etc) all my life. I have always had cats (I currently have 3 cats + a Horsefield tortoise) and I have looked after dogs, goats, ducks, hens, geese, fish, axolotls and snakes. As well as canines and felines, I love all farm animals and reptiles. All animals, really, except midges and ticks 😆 if on me.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a small rural village. My 3 cats have a cat flap, dried food always available and wet food twice a day, so they are independent. They have a lot of interaction with local cats and dogs. I am used to caring for indoor cats too. The tortoise is outside either in rabbit type hutch or large enclosure. I move him around depending on the weather and vary the leafy environment for him, so that there is excitement and a sense of freedom in his life. I also take him for a walk on a local quiet path; he loves it!

Character Reference for Fabienne Thomson I would like to write this reference in support of my long-time friend, Fabienne Thomson. I have known Fabienne for many years and feel I know her exceptionally well. Fabienne has always had a deep love of animals. She has owned cats throughout her life and has rescued several over the years. She has a genuine passion for them and a natural ability to understand their individual personalities and needs. However, I believe her greatest passion is dogs. My family and I owned retired police dogs, which, as you may know, can often be anxious or wary around people outside their immediate circle. Fabienne was different. Whenever she visited our home, she was able to connect with them almost immediately. Her calm, confident manner and natural understanding of dogs allowed her to earn their trust. She is relaxed, patient, and attentive, and I have no doubt that she would respond appropriately in any situation, including those requiring sensitivity or calm judgement. I have a complete trust in Fabienne around animals. She is caring, reliable, quick to learn, and fully committed to everything she undertakes. I would not hesitate to recommend her as a dog sitter and am confident that any dog in her care would be treated with kindness, respect, and genuine affection. I recommend Fabienne without reservation and am certain she will provide an exceptional level of care for any animal entrusted to her. Yours sincerely, Marie-laure Crane

I have known Fabienne for nearly twenty years and throughout that time she has always been reliable, kind, courteous and bursting with energy. I would have no hesitation and happily recommend her to look after any pet. She will diligently befriend it and thoughtfully care for it with the utmost dedication and loyalty. We have both dogs and a cat, all love her, as she loves them; as do my now grown up children. Fabienne always gives 100% effort and attention to all tasks and people. She is highly intelligent and understands how to care and love for pets and people.

Fabienne is a very experienced and committed animal lover. We own a smallholding with an eclectic variety of livestock and pets, Fabienne loves to visit us and her bond with animals is very obvious. Fabienne always puts in maximum effort and commitment to any endeavour that she tackles. She has boundless energy and I am very confident that she will make a superb animal carer for Rover and be a favourite of your customers and all of their animals. I have no hesitation in recommending her to you for employment.

I cannot recommend Fabienne more as a petsitter. She took care of my two cats and my pet tortoise with such diligence while I went on holiday. She coddled the cats, sending me pictures and videos of them purring away, playing and snoozing on her lap and took the tortoise outside on adventures when the weather was nice, going above and beyond to find him the best dandylions to eat. I felt I could completely relax knowing they were in her care, getting the right amount of updates and photos. I have since recommended her services to my friends. Thanks Fabienne!
